This week, we’ve seen important decisions from our partners, decisions that really help. France has confirmed a new missile package. We continue with France a significant training program for our soldiers. I’m grateful for this support. We are working closely with the U.S. on new defense packages that will... bolster our air defense systems – a critical need as winter approaches and Russian strikes persist. We also need real progress in terms of range long-range capabilities. Additionally, a decision has been made that allows American contractors to work in Ukraine on equipment repairs and maintenance, which will expedite these processes. I am also grateful to Canada for working with us to supply additional Nassams air defense systems. The UK has taken new action this week, imposing sanctions on Russian entities fueling the war. This is important, and I thank for this. All Russian individuals and entities supporting their military-industrial complex should be isolated globally, reducing Russia’s capacity to avoid fair, real diplomacy and continue this war. Sanctions need to curb Putin’s overconfidence, and that is achievable. Lithuania is preparing a new military aid package and collaborating with us on securing funds for weapon purchases and local production. Sweden - there are new decisions in both civilian and military support, particularly for maritime security. I want to express our deep gratitude to every partner around the world who is helping us.show more

Air defense and a sufficient supply of interceptor missiles are essential conditions for bringing peace closer. I am grateful to all our partners who support us in this and who have a clear understanding of what exactly is needed. Patriots, IRIS-T, all necessary air defense systems, the development of drones, and investments in weapons production here in Ukraine—this is about protecting lives, and defending the very idea that peace is possible. This week, we have received new support packages: a significant $1.2 billion package from Sweden—thank you. A new security package from Finland. Another package from Croatia. Thank you! We continue working to ensure that next week also brings the necessary decisions for Ukraine—decisions to support our country, our people, and our Ukrainian army.

Today, I received several reports from Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi regarding the frontlines, our actions, and the push to drive the war onto the aggressor’s territory. I thank every unit of our Defense Forces that is making this possible. Ukraine is proving that it truly knows how to restore justice and applies the necessary pressure on the aggressor. I would also like to thank our partners—everyone who made this week successful in implementing sanctions against Russia and those associated with it. This needs to be felt every week—that sanctions are indeed working, and anyone who tries to circumvent them faces a response from the world. We are preparing new measures to further limit the Russian state. I’m grateful for the new defense packages for Ukraine—this week, we received an American package, including missiles for Stingers, ammunition for HIMARS, and 155 mm artillery shells. We are working to ensure timely logistics so that this aid is felt on the frontlines as quickly as possible. We are also eagerly awaiting decisions on long-range capabilities from the United States, the United Kingdom, and France—strong decisions that will bring us closer to a just peace.

This was our third meeting with President Donald J. Trump Joe Biden this year proving that Ukraine and the U.S. are true allies. We reached a new important agreement: Ukraine and the U.S. will work together to produce armaments and defense systems. We are preparing industrial base to produce air defense and other important items. I also thanked President Biden for his support and the new military aid package announced today. This is exactly what our soldiers need right now. We continue to work together in order to strengthen Ukraine, facilitate grain exports, and increase worldwide support for the Peace Formula.

This week, I want to highlight several of our partners for their significant support: Lithuania – a new batch of military aid has arrived, including weapons, ammunition, and spare parts for armored vehicles. I am grateful to the Netherlands for the Patriot launchers. The United States is preparing an important military package worth $725 million, which will significantly support our troops on the front lines. There is also readiness from the Nordic countries and Baltic states to increase investments in Ukraine’s defense industry, particularly in drone production, and I am grateful for this. Norway has approved increased financial support for Ukraine next year, and this is something that gives us confidence. Luxembourg has decided to allocate funds for purchasing weapons for our Defense Forces. We also value the UK’s decision to impose sanctions on Russia’s shadow tanker fleet. This keeps the world on the right track—a course toward justice. Toward ensuring that Russia feels its responsibility for this war, for its consequences, and is compelled towards peace. The world is able to ensure this.

Today, I held a Staff meeting where we had in-depth discussions about the use of air defense systems and the protection of our cities and communities. Steps were identified to make the use of the systems we already have more effective. We are also working on securing additional protection for Ukraine. We are very much counting on the "Patriot" system that Romania is preparing to provide, and I will be grateful to Romania for this crucial support. This is something that will truly help our people, our country, and our entire region. We continue to work with all our partners to secure stronger support for our defense—especially long-range solutions that could destroy a significant portion of Russian ballistic missiles before they even launch. This is one of the key issues of this war. The issue of our long-range capabilities and the necessary approvals from our partners, as well as the long-range shells and missiles we could use, is critical. Russian strikes will become impossible if we have the ability to destroy the occupier's launch sites, military airfields, and logistics hubs where they are located. Granting Ukraine these approvals and providing us with this weaponry would be the biggest step toward a real, just end to this war. Russia simply doesn't know how to fight without terror—terrorist strikes and their ability to create destruction have replaced tactics and strategy for the Russian leadership in this war.

I thank Sweden for all its support for Ukraine – for our people and for our defense. Sweden is absolutely committed to protecting life, and we value this immensely. Today, we have a new support package for Ukraine, and the most important element of it is the Swedish Gripen fighter jets, which will strengthen our air force. Overall, this year, next year, and our future cooperation are all about building Ukraine’s fleet of Swedish Gripens. This will help us guarantee the security of Ukraine and Ukrainians. Today, the Ulf Kristersson and I also discussed the details of our cooperation across all other areas. I briefed him on the situation in Ukraine – on the battlefield and in our defense against Russian strikes. We need our own European antiballistic capabilities in sufficient quantity and with sufficient strength. We will work on this, including within the NB8 format – one of our most effective formats, bringing together Ukraine, the Nordic countries, and the Baltic states. I am also grateful to Sweden for all the sanctions steps – everything that limits Russia’s capacity for aggression.

Russia is carrying out hundreds of strikes against Ukrainian cities and communities, attacking our civilian infrastructure every day. This past week alone, the Russians have launched 1,920 attack drones, 1,790 guided aerial bombs, and 17 missiles of various types against Ukraine. We need to step up our countermeasures against these attacks. We are preparing for meetings with partners to strengthen our defense against this Russian terror. The G7, EU, and NATO summits are ahead. And it is very important that these negotiations result in concrete decisions. We expect meaningful meetings with our partners. First and foremost, we need support for air defense and our long-range capabilities, an expansion of cooperation in the Drone Deals format, and further strengthening of sanctions pressure on Russia. We must end this war in a dignified way and with guaranteed security. And it is through strength, the unity of partners, and pressure on Russia that this can be achieved in a lasting way. I thank everyone who is helping us!

Every day, we make every effort to bolster Ukraine's air defense. I am grateful to Germany for its leadership and for the new Patriot system, which, in the hands of Ukrainians, will demonstrate that Russian terror can be defeated. I am grateful to every country that is genuinely looking for ways to help our country and is actually helping. We will continue to work with partners on this issue.

Today, I welcomed U.S. @SecDef Lloyd Austin in Kyiv. I thanked him for a new defense assistance package for Ukraine worth $400 million that includes ammunition, military equipment, and weaponry. During the meeting we discussed critical defense priorities, including Ukraine’s air defense capabilities, preparations for the winter period, and the expansion of long-range weapon use against Russian military targets. Additionally, we focused on efforts to increase the production of strike drones, cruise missiles, artillery shells, and air defense systems. Secretary Austin reaffirmed that the U.S. will continue its security support as part of the ongoing defense agreement between our countries. He also shared plans to convene a new Ramstein format meeting to coordinate further aid with international partners. I emphasized the importance of our recent negotiations with President Biden, during which we talked about our Victory Plan and continued efforts to strengthen Ukraine’s defense. We are grateful to President Biden, both parties in the U.S. Congress, and the American people for all their support since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Together with all of our allies we work to secure victory and peace for Ukraine and all peace-loving nations.

❗️Zelenskyy: Unfortunately, there is another decision by America to ease oil sanctions. There will be no real benefit from this for diplomacy.

As a result of negotiations and meetings in France, we now have new decisions from France and the United States regarding Ukrainian defense. I thank our friends. There is progress in artillery, including the manufacture of 155-calibre artillery ammunition in Ukraine. A new production platform is being prepared. We will also have greater combat aviation and electronic warfare capabilities. I am grateful to France and President Macron for taking the initiative and supporting our proposals for soldier training and brigade provision. Together, we are laying a new, systemic foundation for the training of Ukrainian army units. We maintain active communication with all of our partners at all levels. The first Peace Summit will take place in just a week. There will also be important meetings and talks with European leaders to strengthen our resilience and protection against Russian terror. We have already reached agreements with partners on additional air defense systems for Ukraine. Some will come to fruition sooner, while others will materialize closer to the autumn. I am grateful to every leader and state that practically supports us. New security agreements for Ukraine are also almost prepared. These are the months for making strategic decisions. In May, our battlefield capabilities were expanded, including long-range ones. In June, our diplomacy and strategic perspectives should be strengthened, and everything possible should be done to bring a just peace closer and to strengthen Ukrainian society.

I want to express gratitude to our air defense warriors—every individual in the various types and branches of our forces who protect our skies. Every night and every day, they intercept Russian Shahed drones and missiles. This morning, they successfully shot down a Russian ballistic missile. Every success like this saves lives. Ukraine is deeply grateful to all our partners who provide interceptor missiles and air defense systems. We are currently working to secure additional supplies—missiles, defense systems, and everything necessary to strengthen our mobile fire groups. Our strategic goal is to reach a practical level of cooperation with our partners that allows us to produce the air defense systems and interceptor missiles we need here in Ukraine. I am grateful to everyone who helps us.

Important work lies ahead in Ankara. We expect a strong and productive NATO Summit. Decisions are needed now that will provide greater protection for our people, more capabilities for our defense, and even stronger security cooperation between Ukraine, Europe, and the United States. The NATO Summit Defense Industry Forum, nearly twenty planned bilateral meetings with leaders, new Drone Deals, and other agreements with partners. We will continue to work on bolstering Ukraine’s air defense. New systems, missiles for them, and the issue of production licenses – all of this is our priority. We are grateful to everyone who is helping Ukraine with real steps.

Tomorrow, I will participate in a meeting in the “Ramstein” format, with additional negotiations planned with partners at the level of defense ministers and military commanders. Ukraine’s Defense Minister, Rustem Umerov, is already in Germany and has begun initial meetings. For Ukraine, the key priority is to continue strengthening our air defense systems and to ensure we can at least push Russian military aviation away from our cities and borders. This goal is achievable if our partners act now to implement the agreements we have been discussing for a long time. I am grateful to everyone who is helping.

I am grateful to Canada for its new package of sanctions against more than 160 entities linked to Russia’s shadow fleet. Today, during our meeting with Mark Carney, we discussed strengthening sanctions pressure on Russia. And it is important that such decisions are being made. We also discussed formats of defense cooperation, Canada’s participation in financing the production of Ukrainian drones under the Danish model, and cooperation in the energy sector. Importantly, Canada will continue to provide Ukraine with energy support and assistance in recovery. I thank Mark for his strong position during the G7–Ukraine meeting and for all the support for our people. We truly have strong allies and the Prime Minister’s significant personal engagement in supporting Ukraine. And this is highly valuable.

I want to thank our partners for fulfilling their commitments regarding air defense. We set a goal to double the strength of our air shield, and today marks the beginning of this. I am grateful to Germany for the Patriot system, which is already in Ukraine—this is excellent news. Additionally, I thank the United States for taking another step in strengthening our air defense and our Patriots. We continue to work, and new decisions will surely follow. Ukrainians have already proven that there are no Russian missiles we cannot shoot down. We are doing everything possible to ensure Russian terror is defeated.

We are already preparing for the “Ramstein” meeting – it is scheduled for the next week. Dozens of partner countries will participate, including those who can help boost our capabilities not only to defend against missiles but also against guided bombs and Russian aviation. We will discuss this with them and continue to persuade them. Lives need protection here and now in Ukraine, and air defense systems must be operational for this purpose. I am grateful to all partners who understand this and are helping us strengthen our air shield.

These past weeks have been especially intense with our international meetings. There are agreements on defense packages and joint production – with the UK, the Netherlands, Canada, and other partners. There are also areas for collaboration with the U.S. Many agreements have been reached with France and Germany as well. All of these need to be effectively implemented: from joint drone production and investments to our long-range capability projects, including missile development. Today, there is also a decision to significantly accelerate sanctions pressure on Russia. I thank our partners who are already preparing the EU’s 18th sanctions package. New sanction measures have also been introduced by the UK and Canada. We are coordinating on sanctions with all G7 nations, as well as with other key global jurisdictions. Russia’s accountability for this war and our sanctions pressure must be operating at full capacity. They must leave no room for Russia or its cronies to adapt. I thank everyone who is helping.

Russia’s accountability for this war and our sanctions pressure must be operating at full capacity. They must leave no room for Russia or its cronies to adapt. I thank everyone who is helping.

I want to express my particular gratitude to the United Kingdom and France: there is a decision from France to provide Ukraine with additional Mirage fighter jets and air defense missiles, while the UK will continue to assist us with air defense by supplying missiles and producing interceptor drones – thank you for that. There are also new decisions by Finland and Spain to contribute to the PURL initiative – a mechanism for procuring American weapons, including missiles for the Patriots. We are working on this with full focus, and our defense arrangements with European partners are working clearly. We are preparing new projects – there will be more joint weapons production. And for the world to address Russia from a position of strength, we in Ukraine must stand on strong ground ourselves. It’s crucial to always compare what the Russians were commanded to do and by when, with what they actually managed to achieve. Ukraine’s resistance is truly heroic.
